Hello, I'd like to use apt to help me build a partial debian mirror on CD. I have a plain text package list with the packages I want, and I need to fetch all the debs associated with them and their dependencies, *including* those that are already installed. I can't seem to have apt do this last thing, though. Afterwards, I could take all the debs from the apt cache and dispatch them inside my mirror.
What I'm currently doing is: apt-get --reinstall -y -o dir::cache=localcache/ -d install pkg1 pkg2 ... but I'd need a --ignore-dpkgstatus or --force-fetch or something. Can you see a way to achieve what I want to do, even with other tools ? Thank you a lot for any answer.
